Vintage Magic Props - 17 x Double Faced JUMBO CARDS
(Unknown stock) Each card shows the Ace of Diamonds backed by the Eight of Spades
******************
Each card measures 7" x approx. 4.5" and has rounded corners as pictured above.
These cards are of unknown but good quality stock. You will surely find a Magical use for them?! ... Prediction Cards, Comedy and Unusual Giveaways maybe, Advertising etc.
They are in Very Good Condition considering their probable age (1950s, 60s and 70s)
******************
OK, so I’ll detail (for FREE here!) how I use one of these strange items myself ---- would you believe? ---- as GIVEAWAYS! First, I have a card 'chosen' from a ‘straight’ deck using (in your case) ‘your favourite method’ of course! In this case it would be either the red Ace or the black 8 spot value on offer ………… one of the Jumbo cards concerned previously being tabled in an A5 sized envelope with a known card value nearest the flap, as a PREDICTION.
I
go through the usual machinations of trying to find/guess the chosen card from
the deck (you use your own chat etc. necessary here, naturally) and eventually
draw forth the Prediction Jumbo card --- but ONLY showing the non chosen side
(i.e. if the Ace is the forced card, I bring out the Jumbo with the 8 spot side
showing) and by pausing, supposedly await the applause. When I’m told that my Prediction is wrong I
look puzzled and offer to SIGN the BACK of the card anyway & offer it as “a souvenir of a very sus – er - auspicious
occasion!” I then sign across the 8 of Spades face
using a permanent marker of course, pause and finally TURN OVER the card to at
last show the correct/predicted side --- before passing said Jumbo to
the watching spectator.
{For those who haven’t quite ‘twigged’ the joke yet ---
the idea is that, apparently, you have a fast depleting Jumbo deck somewhere at
home with the ’8 of Spades’ as its
back design throughout!}
The above images are of the ACTUAL cards on offer here and not from 'stock'.
